Let me in. (Robert Downey Jr Fanfic) Complete

17. Gone

*Roberts' POV*

I knocked harder this time, still no answer. I've been standing at her door for 5 minutes. What could she be doing? Was she even home? I told her that I would be back soon.

I turned down the door handle.

"What?" The door opened. Strange?

"Emilia?"

I searched for her in every room. Why would she leave and leave her door unlocked like that. It's not like her to do something like that.

I grabbed my phone from my back pocket and dialed her number. No answer. I was starting to get worried. I tried calling her again and again but she didn't pick up. Ok, I was really worried now. This isn't like her. I can't reach her and I have no idea where she is. What do I do now? Maybe I should just wait for her here at her place incase she'll show up later.

*Emilias' POV*

"I'm so sorry Robert." I whispered to myself. I was at the airport staring out of the big glass wall looking over all the airplanes, waiting for ours. He tried calling me numerous times but I didn't want to pick up. I don't know what to say to him, to explain it. I didn't want to disappoint him that I had to leave and couldn't hang out with him but I didn't want him to worry about me either and that's when I realized that he's probably worried as fuck.

I took out my phone and started typing him a message. I didn't feel confident enough to give him a call and explain it all.

"I am truly sorry Robert. Knowing you, you are probably sitting on my couch waiting for my return but I won't be coming back. At least not anytime soon. Something has come up back at home and I couldn't turn my back at it. I don't know for how long I'll be gone but please Robert, don't worry about me. I can't tell you how sorry I am that I have to leave you behind like this but I truly have no choice in the matter. I think it's best for both of us to forget about each other. Please, move on. Even if I continued to be with you and if we had taken it a step further, I just would've hurt you. That's what I do. I hurt people. That's why I've been alone until you came along. Robert, you have no idea how much I care about you but that's exactly the reason why I'm letting you go. Goodbye and please take good care of yourself. -Emilia"

I hit the send button and turned off my phone afterwards. Tears have been rolling down my face the entire time and I had a feeling that they wouldn't stop anytime soon.

"I love you."

*Roberts' POV*.

"No.. no.. NO! GOD DAMN IT EMILIA!! PICK UP THE PHONE!!" How could she do this to me? How could she just... I'm feeling so many feelings right now. My head and heart are in total chaos. I was angry, sad, disappointed, lonely, worried, devastated, lost,... How could she just simply break everything that we were building these past couple of weeks in just one text!! A million questions were popping up in my head. Where is she now? Where is she going to go? Is she with Killian? How and where will I find her? My sight was starting to get blurry. I stopped pacing around. Tears were in my eyes? Was about to cry over her? I calmed down, slowly breathing in and out.

"I'm not going to let this be the last of us." I said in a determined voice.
